So I've been dabbling in photography lately (honestly, Fabien's gorgeous photographs inspired me!), and I decided to post a couple up here for crits, as I am largely a newcomer to any sort of art.
I took this one through my upstairs bedroom window. At first I thought taking it through the screen looked kind of cool, but now I'm not so sure. :-/

Air: help yourself. Wow, awesome concept, I love it. I agree that it might need a little cropping, but I'm not sure how you'd go about doing that.

The first photo is romantic like, at first glance it looks like sand, but when you look at it more closely you realize that its snow.
The second one made me laugh. Its just my kind of funny. Normally I would suggest you moving the camera over closer to the building but the sign makes it so you did it perfectly.
First photo is very nice. I love the sceen. It adds a little texture to the entire photo. The foot prints are a great detail. they help dray the eue across the pic from right to left. It is over all pleasing to the eye and has a lovely angle to it.
The second picture is simply brilliant. Havoing the sign on one side and then the large area od sky really helps with the effect, of Air.
over all, nice work. You seem to have a good eye for angles.

I love the angle and subject for the first picture. That the footsteps are the only disturbances in the snow adds so much to the shot.
The second shot made me laugh as well. I agree with the cropping, but just so much that the wire (is it a wire?) in the top left corner is out of view? Other than that, very clear picture. It has enough contrast that you see the dirt on the stones but not so much on the wood. I like it. ^^
